From De Gea to Hummels: 10 big-name free agents eyeing a new club
A look at 10 potentially influential football players looking for new clubs and available on free transfers
The Spanish goalkeeper spent the entirety of last season without a club after leaving Manchester United at the end of his 12th year at Old Trafford. Offers were not in short supply but De Gea wanted to play at the highest level possible, meaning Saudi Arabia and Nottingham Forest did not float his boat. The 33-year-old stayed in England and carried out private training at non-league Altrincham in preparation for a return to football. De Gea has reminded everyone of his talents on Instagram and says he is “ready to rock” but is yet to sign anywhere, despite recent rumours linking him with Genoa.
